Brethren,

I am excited to share the following update with our brothers. Education and Sandwich Supper will continue on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 5:30 pm. I will be alternating between in-person and ZOOM sessions in hopes of accommodating brothers who work until 5 pm or live in FWB/Crestview and cannot get over in time for our sessions. The ZOOM link will not change month to month. ZOOM can be accessed using a computer or a smartphone by downloading the app. You can also just “call in” by dialing the phone number provided when the meeting starts.  

This year, we will also be exemplifying three degrees that are not conferred at our Reunions as the “after-dinner program” on our normal 1st Thursday meeting nights.  These are **starred** below, as you will not want to miss those meetings!  I’m also working on developing some tabletop discussion questions that will tie into the degree we are conferring or discussing that month. I hope you will consider engaging your fellow brothers and sisters in a conversation about those topics while you eat and enjoy one another’s fellowship. 

Schedule:

February 26th: 28° Knight Commander of the Temple  (in person)

***March 6th: 6° Intimate Secretary (conferral after dinner)***

To All,

It not too early to plan.  We are planning our next Scottish Rite Foundation Cruise for March of 2026.  Please print the flyer attached and get to your membership and promote it at every meeting.  Jen will keep me posted on reservations as they come in.  We have had a great time on our past cruises and this one should be no different.  You will notice that we are looking at March and not September.  I promise, no more cruises during the dreadful time of year.  Don’t even want to mention it.  If you need more information on this cruise, you can contact Jen.  Her email and phone number are at the bottom of flyer.

Get your room booked early.  Let me know if you have any questions.
